arXiv:2607. 21407v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The boundary and divertor plasma govern how a tokamak exhausts power and particles, setting heat fluxes, target conditions, and the onset of detachment.
Fast and reliable plasma equilibrium prediction is essential for real-time tokamak operation and control, but conventional Grad-Shafranov (GS) solvers are often too costly for real-time deployment. We...

The paper presents a probabilistic neural surrogate for scrape‑off‑layer (SOL) plasma simulations in tokamaks. By mapping the curvilinear SOLPS‑ITER mesh to three fixed‑size image tensors, the authors preserve geometric adjacency and enable a convolutional network to process the mesh without loss of information. A conditional flow‑matching model is trained on this representation, producing efficient, scalable predictions that capture multiple plausible outcomes—such as distinct hot and cold modes—near the divertor detachment transition and correctly recover known bifurcations in synthetic data.
Fast surrogates for tokamak boundary-plasma simulation are typically deterministic regressors mapping a global operating point to a flattened vector of cell values. Near the divertor detachment transi...

arXiv:2606. 15512v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-time reconstruction of magnetohydrodynamic equilibria is essential for plasma shaping, stability assessment and feedback control in magnetic confinement fusion.
The paper presents an inverse Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) framework that infers the scrape‑off layer (SOL) perpendicular heat conductivity κ_π(n,T) from radial electron density and temperature measurements combined with a reduced one‑dimensional transport equation. Three neural networks are trained simultaneously: two reconstruct the temperature and density profiles, while the third models the conductivity as a function of local density and temperature. The method is validated on synthetic data, achieving errors below 10 % in the data‑constrained region, and is then applied to experimental data from the TJ‑II stellarator using a helium‑beam diagnostic to estimate the effective SOL conductivity.
arXiv:2606. 07550v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Offline reinforcement learning (RL) offers a promising route for developing plasma controllers from historical tokamak data, since online trial-and-error on real devices is costly and risky.
